Depends if max articulation is desired, When you disconnect, longer shocks and bumpstops set for max flex I'd say yes to front driveshaft
If you wanted to get by for awhile I'd say limit yourself with bumpstops and the exhaust spacers will let you disconnect at least but still higher bumpstops probally

I actually helped a friend on his 2012 with just an AEV budget boost 2 inch
When we got done I had a set of 35x12.5x17 MTRs Kevlars on stock Rubi rims with 1.5 spacers
We mounted them on his 2012 Sahara that we just installed the BB
With minor front air damn trimming and pinch seams they fit fine. We opt even not to install the exhaust spacers but had agreed that flex would be an issue and
Disconnecting would not be a good decision.

It seems reasonable. But I don't want to give anything that big up, even if it's short term.

Budget boost + steel tube fenders + bump stop extensions to limit up travel and you'll be set.

BB = 125
Tube fenders = 590
Bump stop extensions = 130

Total = 850.

The bill is getting kind of big... but it can be doable.

I like the price, but not the performance cost... I wish the fenders didn't cost so much, they're the price of a Rubicon Express 3.5" Standard Suspension System.

5-37x12.5x17 MTRs mounted on 5 MT classics rims $2800
3 inch full traction $1200
TeraFlex rear carrier. $. 600
That lift comes with front and rear adj Trackbar
4 control arms , bumpstops, brake line brackets, everything you need to help with 37's
You can do a BB and a bodylift for cheaper then redo later if you wanted coil suspension

Ok this is what I think would be the best route...
37s plus new wheels with less then 3.00 inch backspacing
3.5 inch lift
1inch body lift
Cut fenders or new flat fenders
Cut pitch seam
Exhaust spacer or new y pipe.
New drive shaft(s)
Sleeve/gussest
Rear tire carrier
